I get you, man.
I have been there. I am a little less than twice your age, and I remember being at a Boy Scout meeting, and one of the Scoutmaster's sons comes up to me and says, "Yahoo went public today." My response was the highly intellectual, "What what did who now?"
Years later I was training up for a deployment to Afghanistan when Google was getting ready to have their IPO, and I KNEW it was going to be huge because there was not and still isn't a realistic competitor for their search engine, but my brokerage wouldn't let me invest if they didn't have a number they could reach me at.
Word of advice: You will inevitably screw up. Take your lumps and learn from them. Best of luck!
I'm more than ready to fail. It's the law of averages: the more you try, the more likely you'll find something that succeeds. But again, patience becomes key in this marathon and showing up is half of the battle.
Hope you have a good day :)
